Wayford Bridge Canoe & Kayak Hire


Explore the beautiful River Ant
Wayford Bridge

We are very excited to now have our Wayford Bridge location.

Situated on the northern River Ant, it offers calm waters and stunning views and an abundance of wildlife. The area is rich with birdsong, dragonflies, and the occasional glimpse of an otter or deer. The calm, narrow channels invite exploration and ideal for peaceful paddling or quiet reflection, Wayford Bridge showcases the Broads at their most serene and unspoiled
